Zz Stamp 2004 - 2005 Federal Duck Stamp Print - Redheads By Scot Storm

2004 - 2005 Federal Duck Stamps - Redheads by Scot Storm. Acrylic painting of a pair of redheads in flight over a North Dakota prairie pothole by Scot Storm, This was Scot Storm's first Federal Duck Stamp Contest win. As a youngster, Scot Storm discovered his talent for drawing, sketching and design. These skills eventually led him to North Dakota State University where he earned a degree in architecture. While working in this field, Scot’s love of hunting and the outdoors drew him to explore the challenge of wildlife art. In 1987, as a self-taught artist, he entered the Minnesota Duck Stamp contest and placed second. Encouraged by the acceptance of his initial work, he continued to enter stamp contests and enjoyed his first top award by winning the Indiana Pheasant Stamp competition in 1991. Thereafter, Scot’s interest in wildlife art became such a passion, that in 1999, he decided to give up his career in architecture and devote himself full time to painting. Scot was then able to challenge himself in every aspect of his creations from composition, to lighting, to the accuracy and psychology of color. His paintings of waterfowl, hunting dogs and other animals all reveal his attention to the fine details that breathe life into every image and draw the viewer into a scene. As he strives to expand his portfolio, Scot has worked closely with Pheasants Forever, Ducks Unlimited, and the Danbury Mint art collection. Through his many exhibits and displays throughout the country, he has earned a reputation as a knowledgeable, skilled, and creative force in the field of wildlife art. Scot currently lives in Sartell, MN with his wife and family. This location has aided in providing close proximity to various art markets while still offering easy access to pristine woods and waters of northern Minnesota, a place he always enjoys capturing in his work.
